A few students learn very well, many learn a little,and a few nothing at all. Page 12.867.2What is a better idea? Try learning. Learning is something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn.

Participatory Workshop-LecturesOne problem of the conventional teaching method is in the presentation of the material.Frequently, lecturers tend to teach in the form of a monologue in front of a generally passiveaudience. This form of lecturing provides little incentive for students to attend classes. The factthat most of what they presented comes straight out of the textbooks and/or lecture notescompounds the problem. Only outstanding lecturers would be able to hold students’ attention for

obstacles is the existence of unconscious and conscious biases in faculty searchprocedures, which put candidates from minoritized identities at a disadvantage (Roper, 2019;Sackett et al., 1991; Steinpreis et al., 1999; Wapman et al., 2022; Wenneras & Wold, 1997; Wu etal., 2023). Such biases may also exist when considering prospective faculty members’qualifications as to their day-to-day responsibilities – teaching, research, and service – which, inmost institutions, involves engaging with people from a wide range of identities in the classroom,in laboratories, and beyond. Thus, DEI-related qualifications such as the ability to employinclusive teaching practices is an important measure of merit for faculty members.Purpose and Research QuestionIt
